Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0389241A2] An electrostatic latent image developing device (28) of the type having a regulating member (28c) urged resiliently towards a surface portion of a developing roller (28b) of the device (28) so that an edge (28c3) of the regulating member (28c) nearest to the said surface portion and parallel thereto serves to regulate the thickness of layer of toner particles carried on the roller (28b) when the device (28) is in use is characterised in that the angle of the cross-section of the said regulating member (28c) at the said edge (28c3) is in the range from 90 DEG to 180 DEG . Alternatively, the edge (28c3) may have a rounded cross-section. In each case, the edge is less susceptible to damage and correct regulation of the thickness of the toner layer can be achieved more reliably. A pivotally-mounted regulating member, and a regulating member provided with a guard element for deflecting toner particles, are also disclosed, as is a foam rubber developing roller whose surface has pores, each pore being in diameter no more than twice the average diameter of the toner particles.
